M e dip the following editorial fro
the Albany Herald of February It
which we heartily endorse:
If there is any one thing in the il
which this country does not need, t
thing is war. Whether with a great ■
or or one whose resources and figll
equipment aio in tho second scale. 1
United States are sadly unprerared I I
a conflict, aud the jingo element of
North and South whose loud voice I
stantly echoes through the land is i
gether unacquainted with existing
ditions with respect to our ngh
strength or else blindly unmindful
what actual war would mean to us.
Thsre is every reason to believe i
we would triumph in the end, no ma
how formidible the opponent with wi
we should become engaged, for Ameri
pat riotism and resorcefulness are .
wonder of tho world. But at the ij
outset we would labor under disadvai
ges too great to be overcome by even
most magnificent energy and extravap]
expenditure of treasure, disadvanla
equally great on land and on the 1;
seas. The standing army of the Un
! States is a paltry 20,000 men and W0
C0UI1 *- ^ ol ’ little in the event of internal:
J al strife. And were an army of a mill
; men to be raised for immediate serv
; there are not enough improved, repeal
army guns in America—guns such as
arm ’ es Europe use—to equip one tw
tieth that number of men. There is
ammunition enough in the country
iast such an army ten minutes in an
gagement, and the country’s arsei
could not in several years, with ti
present capacity, manufacture a suffici
quantity of either arms or ammunition
supply so many men. So much for
army. T
Our main reliance would be our no
